The process of reformation of any higher education system is complicated because a necessity arises to duly tackle a whole range of challenges. A rapid widening of a sphere of education and subsequent changes of its status are accompanied by growing problems which have led some researches to believe that there is a current crisis of education. A several causes of this crisis are emphasized such as inability of existing schools and universities to cope with a scale of a constantly growing need of education for population as well as visible insuffi ciency of resources and inertia of society.
Tendencies of education systems in the world have left their mark on the Russian society as well. Many experts point out pressing challenges of the Russian higher education system that need attending to. But considering modern processes of the global integration, it can be said for sure that analysis of the Russian higher education system in a context of integration and creation of a double diploma master program may give us proper means to successfully tackle pressing issues of higher education of Russia.
Based on the aforementioned, the following aims of this paper should be emphasized:
